I created a mobile version of my blog. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, a request on the b2 forums prompted me to actually do it. Cruise over to my software section to grab a copy if you want to. Still some features I plan to add, but it works.

Posted from the mobile site. “Ain’t no thing but a chicken wing on a string – dig?”
I’ve successfully tested the redirect feature today on a Handspring Treo, Palm i705, Toshiba Pocket PC using Pocket Internet Explorer and the Danger Hiptop (aka the T-Mobile Sidekick). I’m sure I need to catch more browsers, but I figure I’ve got most of the big ones for now…
GREAT!! I would like to have a “mobile-b2edit-version” too 😎
I think that would be a nice addition for blogging from the road …
THANK YOU ALEX! Worked like a charm 🙂
Added a few more features – mainly the ability to browse through archives and navigate to next/previous post.
beta 5 with the new features is posted for download.
its getting better and better! Is there an option in the future to post entries with this version?
I haven’t looked into how the posting side works, but I know there is a lot more seccurity involved – I’m not sure I’m ready to jump into that just yet.
I actually think the existing screens would probably work pretty well on a PDA, I’ll try to test them out this weekend.
Would a post-only page be useful? I don’t relish the idea of duplicating all the functionality that michel v has put into the admin screens.
Actually, using the post by email functionality is probably the easiest way to post from a PDA right now.
Edlef, what PDA do you have? What problems are you seeing using the existing admin screens with your PDA?
Thanks for the reply!! I have a Sony Clie 425. My “problem”: if i use the admin-page, the posts from the last 5 days are shown. i will not change this value for the index.php, and so are sometimes 50 or more posts on the admin-page… It works on the Clie, but it takes a lot of time 😎
hmm, that is a very good point… using a PDA you probably don’t need to see more than the title for each post. I’ll add it to my "future projects" list.
😉
Sounds good!
Thanks a lot!
Just a little note to let you know that b2 mobile shows up properly on my Sony CMD-J5 cell phone (using M$ mobile explorer). Haven’t tested posting a comment from it, because (as I told you on the forums) it’s an expensive hobby to go online with a cellphone if you use a pre-paid service (which I do).
